Mount your Arduino Nano on your breadboard

We will be powering the Nano and the breadboard with current from the USB port, which is good for up to 500mA of 5 V±5%-- probably enough for most input circuits, although not enough if you plan to run a lot of LEDs or motors.

The Nano should sit at the bottom of the breadboard, so that the pins lie in rows 49-64 on either side.

Using jumper wires, connect the row 52 pin (GND) on the left side of the Nano to the blue ground (GND) rail.

Connect the row 52 pin (+5V) on the right side of the Nano to the red Power rail.

Use jumper wires to connect the power and GND rails on the left side of the breadboard to the right.
